Chapter 14“So you apologized to him” Tiana said on phone.“Yeah”“So you guys are cool now”“I guess” I sighed remembering what happened yesterday and how I talked to him. When I woke up in the morning, he had disappeared again.“Now tell me the juicy part”“What juicy part?” I rolled my eyes.“Don’t tell me you guys didn’t kiss or something”“We didn’t”“Such a boring couple”“I know, right” I agreed.“I have to go now. My mom needs me. Argh!, needs to get the fuck out of this house as soon as possible. Always ordering me around” she groaned.“When you gain admission into Harvard, you will be free as a bird” I said.“Yeah, can’t wait. Talk to ya later” she ended the call.I dropped my phone and laid on the bed ready to take a long nap.I really can’t wait to get into Harvard. Here is so boring.*********THE NEXT DAY....I woke up feeling more energetic and got off the bed. I checked the wall clock and my eyes widened in seeing the time is 8am.How could I have slept for so long.
Chapter 15It took me a while to lapse back into consciousness. But I did all I could. I tried my best and I still couldn’t get in.I’m more brilliant than Tiana is. How could She get in and I didn’t.I want to cry but I couldn’t. Right now, I just want to get wasted and forget this ever happened.I stood up from the bed and wore my slippers and exit the room.I practically staggered downstairs. The maids looked at me weirdly but I just ignored them.I signaled to Jacob who was seated outside and he hurriedly rushed over to me and opened the door for me. He got into the driver’s seat and turned back to look at me.“Where should I take you to?” He asked.“Just drive” I said sternly and he nodded and drove out of the house.During the drive, I just kept thinking about the rejection letter. I just want to forget about it. It’s driving me crazy.“Stop here” I said when we got to the front of a bar. This is where I want to be right now.“Huh, this is a bar?”“Oh you are saying I’m blind?”
Chapter 16 I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room. I was laying on something hard and it was pretty comforting.Wait!I jumped off the bed and looked beside me to see a shirtless Hayden asleep on the bed. My eyes widened when I realized I was laying on his chest.“Hayden!” I screamed and he got up from the bed.“Why are you naked and why am I sleeping on you??”“Huh, we share the same room and bed” he uttered.“Thank you for reminding me” I rolled my eyes.“Why are you naked?” I asked shooting daggers at him.He was about to answer and I looked at myself and realized I was in my pajamas.“Haaaa” I screamed.“What is it?” Hayden asked confusedly.“You took advantage of me. How could you?” I yelled.“Calm down young lady. I didn’t take advantage of you.”“Then how come I am in my pajamas?” I inquired“I wore it on you yesternight”“So you saw me naked?”“Yeah?”“You freak!” I yelled throwing a pillow at him.“Why are you making it sound like it’s a big deal” he shrugged.“
Chapter 17“What do you mean?” I furrowed my brows.“Hayden is rich alright? He can just you know, get you into Harvard, you know what I mean”My eyes widened a bit when I realized what she meant.“What! No, I’m not doing that” I disagreed.“Do you want to go to Harvard or not?”“I want to” I pouted.“You know what to do”“Right!” I uttered and ended the call.I picked my spoon and started tapping on the plate.“Is their something wrong?” I heard Hayden ask.“No...it’s nothing. Just thinking” I said absently minded.Should I ask him? Why would he even help me when he is against me going to Harvard. I imagined the image of Ezra in college holding hands with another girl and I decided to try my luck.“Uhm Hayden” I started.“Can you help me get into Harvard?” I asked.“Don’t get you” he arched his brows.“Like can you help me ...get ...into...Harvard” I repeated slowly.“I heard what you said but I don’t get you” he said.“Oh..” I scratch my hair. “Let me just break it down. You are ri
Chapter 18“Are you serious right now?” Hayden asked “Do I look like I’m joking?” I huffed.“If you want me to do anything for you, just name it but as far Harvard, I can’t help you with that”“Anything, you say” I smirked and he nodded.“I can’t think of anything right now but if I do, you must do it” I said.“Deal” he affirmed.I packed the dress back in bag smiling. It was when I stood up carrying it I realized Hayden have been staring at me.“Does that mean you are going with me?” He inquired.“What? No. You got the dress for me. It’s impolite not to take it” I shrugged. I really do like the dress and I’m eager to wear it but I can’t let Hayden know that.“I see...” he said staring at me amusedly.[WEEKEND] It was Saturday. I haven’t asked anything from Hayden and that’s because I haven’t really thought of anything. It was past noon and Hayden was in the room already dressed while I’m in the closet struggling to zip up my dress. All my efforts was in vain and I just gave up and
Chapter 19 Towards evening, I was seated alone drinking red wine. Hayden left me to greet some business partners in attendance.The party ended already and I must confess, it was fun but I happen not to like the celebrant.“Hey” I heard a feminine voice behind me.I turned to see Layla. I scoffed and answered. “Oh hi”“Hope you enjoyed the party?” She asked casually and I wish I can scream “we aren’t friends” in her ears.“Yeah” I answered not in the mood to exchange words.She said nothing for a while and then finally sat beside me.“How did you do it?” Was the first question she asked.I furrowed my brows and looked at her questionably.“I mean how did you get Hayden to marry you?” She asked, trying to cover up the anger on her face.“Excuse me?” I faced her.“I believe you heard what I said just now. So tell me how? Hayden isn’t the type to mingle with ladies talk-less of getting married”I smirked. “Let’s just say I captured his heart with my beauty and awesome personality” I tuc
Chapter 20 The next day, I called Tiana and told her about applying to Hilton.“You sure you want it?” She asked.“yeah, I guess”“You aren’t even sure”“I would join you in Harvard next session. I mean, would use it to pass time. I can’t just sit at home all day doing nothing”“Well, it’s good. Your husband is rich so that shouldn’t be a problem” she said and I rolled my eyes.Talking about Hayden, he left for work today and I don’t really care.“Wish me luck” I said.“Goodluck baby”“Thanks. When are you leaving for Harvard?” I asked.“In a week’s time or so”“Awwn baby, I’m going to miss you”“Me too. Let’s hang out before I go”“Sure. Tell Ezra I said hi if you happen to see him”“No problem. Talk to you later”I ended the call and Andy’s message came in. I have been chatting with him since yesterday and he is like really fun to chat with.Though I haven’t seen his picture yet but I feel some sort of connection with him.Later that evening, I logged in to Hilton’s college school’
Chapter 21Britany’s pov Some days later... Tiana and I decided to go to a carnival taking place in town. She is going to college in few days and the carnival was a good idea to hang out.I was at the location already waiting for Tiana. She told me she is on her way and I have been waiting for about 10 minutes.I brought out my phone to call her again. She picked almost immediately.“Where the hell are you?” I asked.“In front of you, dummy!” She said and I looked up to see her coming towards me.My eyes widened to see he had company. It was Ezra.They reached where I am and I think I lost my voice.“Hi Brittany” Ezra said smiling.I didn’t say anything until Tiana tapped me and I lapse back into consciousness.“Oh hi” I said.“I kind of told Ezra I’m hanging out with and he decided to tag along” Tiana explained.“Just want to see you even if it would be for the last time” Ezra said his eyes on the ring in my fourth finger. I moved uncomfortably.“Nice...” I said feeling awkward.“
